Nova Rosti Coffee Co

the single-origin pour-over is the move here, if you're the kind of person who actually wants to taste what the roaster was thinking. nova rosti coffee co operates out of kerner boulevard in san rafael, a light-industrial stretch that doesn't exactly signal "specialty coffee" from the street, but that's part of the deal. the regulars who've made this place a habit aren't here by accident, they're here because the sourcing and roasting are taken seriously in a way that shows up in the cup. you won't find a lot of performance, just good coffee done with obvious intention. san rafael's marin county setting means the crowd skews local and unhurried. come on a weekday morning, and order the pour-over black.
